Directions

Place the steaks between sheets of wax paper, then pound until each steak is about ¼ inch thick.

Place the pounded steaks in a zip lock plastic bag. Add the mustard, cumin, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Be sure the steaks are evenly covered.

In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the tomato, worcestershire sauce, wine, salt and pepper. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Place the steaks into the skillet and cook for 5 minutes per side. Add the onion sauce, mix and serve.

You had me with the onion sauce, which sounds delicious. I’m bookmarking this one to try. I know me and my husband will love it. I’m also going to send this recipe to my best friend who is addicted to onions.

That is too funny. I just made Bistec de Palomilla the other night, except that I have had a terrible cold and have not been posting very much lately. It is almost the exact same dish. I am just trying to catch up now.

Erica,
My husband and I just enjoyed this dish – and he’s Swedish ! Even the avocado salad was just perfect. Thanks to you I’ve been able to enjoy the food I grew up with and also been able to introduce hubby to Colombian food.

Tonight I made the bistec and it was amazing, I used a fancier mustard and it was still delicious. Love knowing this is a dish I will definitely repeat with the family!

I did have one set back, I had difficulty with the onion sauce. I ended up not mixing it because the 3 tablespoons of wine was overpowering. Now that I look at your photos, the onion portion looks so different. Any tips when creating the sauce.

Hi! We had Colombian food in Florida & really were impressed. We’re Meatetarians & so more options always welcome! The marinating required some pre-planning which was good with long weekend. Had no wine in the house so web suggested red wine vinegar. Raves above on onion sauce completely justified, absolutely fabulous. Trying again this time with skirt steak. Let’s see what happens…
